How can I have a bg reading of 182 and then immediately eat a meal and get a reading of 88 two hours later? The first reading was fbg; the meal was breakfast. This just defies the whole premise that food elevates blood glucose-instead of lowering it. Especially when the meal was hot oat bran cereal with half a banana and walnuts. (more than half of my daily carb allowance in one meal) I think I'll just go 'eat worms'!
Thanks for the validation, @A DiabetesTeam Member The fickleness of fbg is enough to make me want to bang my head on the keyboard some mornings. In my case, I have been fortunate enough to be able to… read more
I have warm fresh lemon first thing in the morning and then at 9am a smoothie of either banana apple and a little pineapple or berries with plain yoghurt and sometimes I add spinach and protein powder I love fruit
Then at 1pm I have my main meal of a protein veggies or salad and olive oil and a small baked potato
At 6pm a small bowl of oats with flax seeds and chia seed with xylitol and a little milk or a slice of seed toast with cream cheese or peanut butter
I have to have a snack before bed… read more

Blood sugar is measured by pricks and strips! Ranges from 90's to 135.
I'll let you know when I test after a Moon Pie and coffee! LOL
It taken me a while to get this t2 under control. I have done that for the most part with diet, exercise and some supplements. Weight-loss i have achieved through low carb and intermittent fasting. I eat breakfast and lunch. 4 hours after eating my levels are generally around 5.2. However on getting up in the morning i range between 6.8 and 7.8. So this is not diet related since my last meal has been 16 hours or more ago. Even if i skip breakfast the levels kind of remain with minimal decline… read more

Hi all you warriors
I've been controlling my diabetes journey with right eating, portion control, Japanese science and medicine, exercise if your doctors allow, attitude, and a compelling reason to do what is necessary. I sleep 6-7 hours nightly, 8 is better. I do 10-15 minutes self care daily. Baby steps.
I am half Japanese and a recovering rice-aholic, I ate rice 2-3 meals a day my whole life. Now I have 1 tablespoon 2x a month and savor it for the taste and memories, more and the binge… read more

I check around 7 times a day before every dose of insulin and before bed
Sugar count high when I eat I'm on 4mg insulin tablet and 850mg metformin... Who has the perfect cost effective eating plan?
Anyone can have the best eating plan for themselves, but it takes time, measuring, and testing frequently.
I eat to my blood glucose meter, my blood glucose numbers spreadsheet, and my food journal… read more
